Penn State ex-VP Schultz seeks dismissal of perjury

A former Penn State vice president wants a judge to throw out charges he lied to a grand jury investigating former football assistant coach Jerry Sandusky and didn't properly report suspected child abuse.
Gary Schultz filed the motions Tuesday. In court records he says his statements to a grand jury that the allegations were "not that serious" and that it wasn't clear a crime occurred are opinions that can't be proved false.
He's joining a motion filed Monday by co-defendant Tim Curley challenging the failure-to-report charge on the grounds the law was different in 2002, when they fielded a report about Mr. Sandusky being in the showers with a young boy.
The attorney general's office says it hasn't received the filings but will review them when it has.
